Shopback has just informed me of their November sales schedule. Expect some big deals this month with both Singles Day and Cyber Monday on the horizon.
Here’s an overview of the travel specific deals. Hopefully by knowing the schedule you’ll be able to better time your flight and hotel bookings to maximize your cashback.

A reminder that if you’re not already a Shopback member you can sign up using my referral link to get a $5 bonus on your first payout (I earn $5 too).

I got to know about ShopBack from MileLion, and then read about them getting venture capital money, seeming quite legit. However, the experience was an utter disgrace. For all the expenses ($5k or so) I channeled through them via their chrome extension (touting 6% or more cashback), NONE of them was credited a single cashback other than 1 expense for scoot, which I had to intentionally chase and provide the digit booking number (go find read their FAQ for the details of where to find that, good luck), details of when and how I paid and the others. It seems… Read more »
